Maybe a little extra power, JUST in case.

WTF!!!!!! Engine testing bed????

I think that it's a PW testing aircraft. I have seen pics of the same A/C with diffrent engines attached to it.

You are CORRECT!!. It is a B-720[smaller version of the 707], used to test various PW engines. Congratulations !!

Those are some sweet pic's, very nice find!!!!

an aircraft like this might exist, but this pic looks like a photochop, somethings not right there, the lines aren't matching...

Got to the airliners search pages and look at the listed photos, there's plenty of them.

I'm not disputing the fact that the plane exists.
I'll buy this one:

But look closer at that picture that was posted here. The plane is at almost a 45 degree angle to the camera and you are looking almost straight on to the prop, spinner, intake and exhaust stacks.

It looks like the PS artist pulled the nose cowl from a TexanII and the prop and spinner from a King Air with the blackhawk conversion.

He would have pulled it off if he has selected a different photo of the original aircraft at more of a straight on angle.
